About this episode
When was the last time you had a REAL and MEANINGFUL conversation with someone who disagreed with your Christian worldview? We live in a divisive culture that has led to nearly a third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement. Many Christians no longer feel safe to share their opinions for fear of being bullied or canceled by friends, family, and co-workers. Is staying silent really the answer, or is there a better way to speak the truth in love as God's ambassadors? This week, Frank sits down with our good friend, Dr. Sean McDowell —author, Christian apologist, and one of YouTube’s best at interviewing people from opposite ends of the spectrum. They'll dive into his new book (co-authored with Tim Muehlhoff), ' End the Stalemate: Move Past Cancel Culture to Meaningful Conversations .' It's a must-read guide for Christians looking to revive the art of opinionated dialogue without hostility. During their conversation, Frank and Sean will answer questions like: Why is the world so divided, and what can Christians do about it? How do most people shape their worldview? Is there a connection between atheism and fatherhood? What's an effective way to help people embrace the truth? Why is fraternity often a hindrance to truth and sound theology? How do you approach explosive issues, and why do discussions about religion and politics often become heated? In this podcast episode, discover how Christians can speak up without fear and create safe spaces for open, gracious conversations with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and faiths. With evangelism being the ultimate goal, Sean will share some helpful tips on how to disagree without being disagreeable and how to advance the ball toward Christianity when it feels like you've come to a standstill. Be sure to grab a copy of Sean and Tim's book ' End the Stalemate ' for more practical tips on cultivating healthy relationships and fostering meaningful conversations surrounding any topic without all the tension and negativity!
